Part Descriptions
LP201240-1 Nystagmus
Nystagmus is a rapid oscillation of the eyes which can be due to neurologic or optic causes. Nystagmus motion can be planar (horizontal, vertical, or in-between) or torsional. The null point is the head posture adopted by an individual to stop or minimize nystagmus. Null point is also used to describe abnormal head positions that provide the best vision with other eye conditions.
